Seasonal Cleaning Guide for Boston Homeowners

Boston's four distinct seasons each bring their own cleaning challenges. From spring pollen to summer humidity to fall leaves to winter road salt, your home needs different attention throughout the year. Here's a seasonal guide to keeping your Boston home spotless.

Spring (March - May)

Spring is the classic deep clean season for good reason. After months of closed windows, your home is full of dust, allergens, and stale air.

• Wash windows inside and out to let the light in
• Clean blinds, curtains, and window tracks
• Wipe baseboards and crown molding
• Vacuum or shampoo carpets to remove allergens
• Clean HVAC vents and replace filters
• Wash bedding, pillows, and mattress covers

Summer (June - August)

Boston summers bring humidity and outdoor activity. Focus on entryways and high-traffic zones.

• Mop floors more frequently to remove tracked-in dirt
• Clean and treat outdoor furniture
• Wipe down ceiling fans (running them year-round)
• Deep clean the kitchen, including range hood and behind appliances
• Sanitize trash bins (smells get worse in heat)

Fall (September - November)

Prep your home for the indoor months ahead.

• Clean gutters and downspouts
• Wash exterior windows before it gets cold
• Dust and rotate seasonal items as you swap closets
• Vacuum upholstery and curtains
• Schedule a chimney sweep if you have a fireplace

Winter (December - February)

Boston winters mean salt, slush, and snow tracked across your floors. Focus on entryways and floor protection.

• Place mats at every entrance and shake out daily
• Mop hardwood floors weekly to prevent salt damage
• Steam clean carpets to remove ice melt residue
• Run a humidifier to prevent dry skin and static
• Disinfect high-touch surfaces during cold and flu season
